Ten Ways of Looking at the World
In your assigned reading from our textbook Understanding the Times, the concept of worldview was presented as a lens or a filter through which one understands the world. As we begin our study on this topic, it is important for you to understand your starting place and to think through the parameters of your current worldview. In an essay of two to three-pages (not counting the title page nor the reference page), give a brief explanation of your views on the “Ten Ways of Looking at the World” (located on pages 15-17 of Myers and Nobel’s text).
Here are the topics and corresponding questions to answer within your essay with at least four sentences per question (at least one paragraph). Answer them in the order presented below:
1 Theology: Who is God?
2 Philosophy: What is the love of wisdom?
3 Ethics: What is the good life?
4 Biology: What does the natural world tell us about creation?
5 Psychology: What makes a human being a person?
6 Sociology: How should we live in a community?
7 Law: What constitutes a just law?
8 Politics: In whom should power rest?
9 Economics: How should a society be productive?
10 History: How can the past help future human flourishing?
